Do the logs reveal anything? I find sendmail logs to be rather
cryptic, but eventually one can decipher them.

I don't know if replacing the RH9 version of sendmail will solve this
problem, but it may well solve others. RH9 is ancient in computer
security terms. The native sendmail on RH9 is
sendmail-8.12.8-4.i386.rpm. That on Fedora Core 5 is
sendmail-8.13.6-0.FC5.1.rpm.
